Today I have something a little different for you.
Last year, I went to my 20th high school reunion. I attended a Seventh-day Adventist boarding school, and going back felt like stepping into another lifetime. If I’d thought about religious trauma before that experience, I’ve been thinking about it a lot more since.
You’ll hear me talk about that today, but what’s different is that this episode is actually from a brand new podcast I co-host called Ask Me a Question.
I created this podcast with my best friend—and high school sweetheart. Years after our time in church and school, we came out to each other as queer and have spent years supporting each other’s growth and just enjoying being friends.
Cedric came to me with the idea for this show because our story is unique, and we wanted a space to unpack what it was like to grow up inside a fundamentalist faith. Together, we revisit the questions that shaped and challenged our worldview, explore how we made sense of life after leaving the Adventist church, and share what it’s been like to build a life rooted in curiosity, joy, and chosen family.
I hope you enjoy this first episode of Ask Me a Question.
